Technologies of Nike Air Max LeBron VII, first is definitely the Flywire+Air Max as the core tech for this basketball shoes.We can hardly imagine how it could be without the Nike Zoom Air. Generally fans come up with the idea like why it updated to be Air Max? is the Zoom Air not strong enough for the game?

 

The first thing is the Air Max tech would raise the weight of the basketball shoes, and the second is the huge section would raise the cost or price of the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. And these two simplest questions would not be missed by Nike designers. Let us see what Jason the designer of Air Max said:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The reason why gave up Zoom Air on this Nike Air Max LeBron VII was that the limitation of use, most occasions the Zoom Air is not able to cover the whole sole. And it is definitely the reason for using the Air Max to assist with more power in all parts of sole.

 

It would easier to understand once the shoes were splited, for the back sole and the whole sole with egg shaped Zoom Air. It maybe sufficient for most players, but it is barely enough for LeBron James. From another side, Nike would take this opportunity to refresh the Airbag tech. The airbags would be a little hard the first time on foot, and do not worry it is strong enough for guys over hunderds of pounds. The Flywire was taken to reduce the weight,meanwhile it gave the strong appearance for the Nike Air Max LeBron VII. The Nike Air Max LeBron VII could be tight for any sports with the consistence of Flywire and fastened lace, to wrap the ankle and heel agaist the injery in the game. You may feel slightly out of phase if the lace is loose and this is really harmful so please remember to fasten the lace before starting out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nike Air Max LeBron VII moves you forward and helpful for speedups with the support of the cross and fishbone patterns on the outsole, and the waterwaves on the midsole. This guarantees the optimal cushioning in all directions. Since the material is translucence rubber on the outsole, delivering better performance for the bounce and release the pressure back from ground to protect the heels and ankles. You can feel the sticky white rubber section for the superb grip. We do not recommend this Nike Air Max LeBron VII to some guard who is short, as not the same way LeBron James in the game.

 

Nike Air Max LeBron VII is strong enough for any moves in the court and also keeps you foot warm even in storms. From the material of the upper the ventilation is simply ok, so it would be better idea to wear Nike Air Max LeBron VII in the outdoor games or indoor with air conditioners. You can get used to the Air Max huge support after the Zoom Air.

 

Anyway, fabulous appearance,suffient protection, latest Nike tech, unique signature of LeBron James, combining the superb Nike Air Max LeBron VII, to be legand.

11 reasons for choosing Nike Zoom Kobe basketball shoes

Jun 25, 2010 NBA news, Sneaker Dictionary, Trend

Nike Zoom Kobe II is the first basketball shoes try to use the latest technology or in another way some kind of commercial methods, to release 3 different versions for one single pair of Nike basketball shoes. The most common and easiest to get is the UL version. Honestly it is really a nice price for Nike Zoom Kobe II to be less than $200, really far lower than expectation of most sneaker fans and Nike basketball players. Therefore, as stated by Kobe Bryant, the Nike Zoom Kobe II is definitely more comfy than Nike Zoom Kobe I. Here are the details:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Appearance.

Nike Zoom Kobe II is regarded not as nice look as other Nike Kobe basketball shoes, like the Nike Zoom Kobe IV and Nike Zoom Kobe Hyperdunk, Nike Zoom Kobe V. Generally speaking, it depends as we all have different opinion on the same pair of Nike basketball shoes, so just choose what you like. It is the black and yellow Nike Zoom Kobe II in the photos chosen as best sellers from online Nike shoes store like Footlocker, Yessneaker and Flightclub. This colorway delivers strong sense of aggressive like a snake, to kill in the silence. Comparing with Nike Zoom Kobe I, we can find our that the Nike Zoom Kobe I and Nike Zoom Kobe II both use the crystal shape patterns, looking like the Nike Kobe Logo. Nike Zoom Kobe II is deemed to be the typical Nike Kobe shoes with outstanding designs, Kobe logo on the back heel to couple with the ones on top and lace, thick and slim, big and small, front and back. The materials are all best choice for basketball shoes, the fine leather for the upper and strong body with high consistency. The unique patent leather on the top cover

Appearance:★★★★☆

 

 

II Designs.

Some fans think Nike Zoom Kobe II and Nike Zoom Kobe I are opposite on the designs of wrap tech. Nike Zoom Kobe I is forefoot thicker than sole part, and Nike Zoom Kobe II is sole part thicker than the forefoot. It is the truth, and simple way to identity the 2 generation of the Nike Zoom Kobe shoes. You can get more space wearing the Nike Zoom Kobe II in the front section, it is like bare foot if you loose the lace that hardly get and backpress from the toe cover. This lead most fans into the theory that Nike Zoom Kobe II is mainly the back part basketball boots, because you can not feel the toes for new shoes with the tough toe cover. Therefore this can be improved to some extent once the lace is fastened or at last you can feel the toe cover. It maybe crowed this way and could squeeze some part of the toe or foot usually. For the back section of the Nike Zoom Kobe II, personally it is excellent. The tight hold feel is as good as the Nike LeBron IV.More importantly, the outward side of the heel and the joint of the back heel is processed smoothly, to combine the foot and shoes as a whole thing. This may come out with the help of the two holder from the back part. The tight sole and heel assist for optional protection against most injeries in the game. Meanwhile, the heel is tremedous for abrasion, it can last long term of run, just showed up to be red in color after sports, so we suggest to wear high top socks for the Nike Zoom Kobe II.

Designs:★★★★☆(back section)

Designs:★★★(forefoot)

 

Lining, lockdown system and tongue printed with Nike Kobe Logo

 

Ⅲ Grip.

 

Huge part of Cross patterns deliver the perfect grip in the game, like the Air Jordan X outsole is deemed to be best choice for speedy moves in the court. Basing on the utilize of the latest Nike Free Tech, the Nike Zoom Kobe II performs well for the shape changing and pressing up-and-down. No matter on the wooden court, plastic or ground, Nike Zoom Kobe gives you the best control all the time. For the huge damage from the ground, we do not recommand to wear Nike Zoom Kobe II there.

Grip (indoor):★★★★☆

Grip (outdoor):★★★★

 

Ⅳ Flexibility.

 

Nike Zoom Kobe II is commonly regarded as the best Nike basketball shoes for flexibility. The forefoot of Nike Zoom Kobe II finally upgraded from the Nike 2K4 and Nike Zoom Kobe I. It is not the egg shaped tiny piece of Zoom on the forefoot, updated to be slice and flexiable Zoom layer. Every part of foot could feel the Zoom Air function, and we can tell the optional pressure release of Nike Zoom Kobe II. Another key point is the use of Nike Free tech into the Nike Zoom Kobe II. Though basing on Nike Free running shoes as the prototype with the separated outsole, it still is not able to be that OPEN space as the basketball shoes. The 8mm forefoot and flexible outsole, assisting to identify the ground condition in the runs, also improve the flexibility of the Nike Zoom Kobe II. Most fans regard Nike Zoom Kobe II as the Nonstoppable basketball shoes.

Flexibility: ★★★★★

 

Ⅴ Cushioning.

The back section of Nike Zoom Kobe II is flexible, some players said Nike Zoom Kobe II is softer than former generation, we have to disagree. One thing is the first time wear the Nike Zoom Kobe II it can be be hard. This feels like high pressure from the back part with the egg shaped Zoom. We usually think this design is for improving the forward moves, and it can handle the G and SF cushioning. The high cushioning and stability performance is better than the Nike LeBron IV. As we think the forefoot Zoom is a next generation of whole sole Zoom.

Cushioning:★★★★

 

VI Weight.

 

Lightweight, simply expression from most fans. Nike Zoom Kobe is as light as the Nike TAICHI and slightly heavier than WADE 1.With only 15 ounce You can get the bare foot feeling in the game, basing on the joint designs of the sole and back heel, Nike Zoom Kobe II helps us to bounce and speedups.

Weight: ★★★★☆

 

VII Ventilation.

 

Some fans are willing to wear Nike Zoom Kobe II for the high sense of ventilation, therefore as trial run for half an hour, we did not agree on this.And it is true that there are plenty of holes on the back section, but most are blocked by the lining. And most holes are placed the lower position of the heel but not the sweat gland of the foot. The thick toe cover and the high tight hold from the fastened lace, it decrease the ventilation of the Nike Zoom Kobe II to some extent.

 

Ventilation: ★★★☆

 

VIII Consistency.

 

Nike Zoom Kobe II carried on the carbon board on the midsole, from the feeling we can tell this can be functioned into the 3/4 part of the forefoot. Carbon board is the key role with the Nike Free idea, and it is definitely to identify Nike Zoom Kobe II to be a pair of basketball shoes instead of Nike Running shoes. The middle part of the Nike Zoom Kobe II is superb and couples with the transaction of power from top to end. Nike Zoom Kobe II is stable for cushioniong and run, the support from lateral is sufficient and strong.

 

Consistency:★★★★☆

Twist: ★★★☆

 

IX Protection.

 

Basing on the UL version, I think Nike Zoom Kobe II gives sufficient protectin for G and SF. As stated previously the lockdown system guarantees the heel and ankle,together with the fastened lace to hold the ankle. The lockdown system are deemed to be musthave designs for Nike basketball shoes as the two supporters from the back heel is not strong enough for most accations. The tough toecover and the flexible outsole work together for the highest protection for the foot.

 

Protection: ★★★★

 

X Durability.

 

It is a huge surprise that the outsole of Nike Zoom Kobe II is more durable than expectation. Comparing with the performance of the Nike Zoom Kobe I, the Nike Zoom Kobe II was all brand new after 25 minutes play on the outdoor court. The black cross pattern outsole is excellent with high durability. This reminds me the Nike LeBron IV which released the same year of the Nike Zoom Kobe series, both performed well with high durability. Therefore the upper is not that durable as the outsole, wrinkles are easily made during games and luckily this could be covered by the shoes shape. This may be caused by the fastened lace for tight hold.

 

Durability:★★★☆(upper)

  

XI For the ST and LITE versions

 

Normally the ST version is 20 bucks cheaper than the UL version, but I like the later. The reason is that Nike Zoom Kobe II is a guard shoes, lightweighted, ventilation, flexible all the key points in the game as a guard like LA Lakers Kobe Bryant. From the performance, the two sticks of the ST version are not as good as expected. Moreover this designs adds the weight, and the sticks are easily to scrap. From the Nike online store, the ST version is for the defensive motive. And for the LITE version, only 2-3 ounces lighter than the UL version, but it is so attractive for fans who pay higher attention on the weight. Only one thing, the LITE version supposes to be equipment for the lightweighted players.
